What makes a great place to work
Two very good central points in a recent article from the Canadian Management Centre, which reminds us of two crucial factors in making your company a better place to work:
First, “people join companies, but they leave managers.” So it’s vital to ensure that managers and other leaders reflect the organization’s values. This can be done through a strong emphasis on management culture, accountability, and training.
Second, great workplaces should build on their own special qualities. So don’t just try to “cut and paste” new initiatives from generic lists of best practices – which may or may not fit in your unique organizational culture. Instead, identify what’s best and most important in your organization’s work environment, and take steps to build on and improve that.
